During a recent trip to India, International Officer Emma Schlesinger took time out of her busy schedule to meet with alumni in Chennai and Bangalore.

In Chennai Emma met with Aysha Rau - BSc Marine and Microbiology (1980) and Vikram Ramprasad - MSc Advanced Manufacturing Technology (1996). Emma said: 'We had a great night Vikram and Aysha were so positive about their experiences in Portsmouth even though they graduated a while ago'.

A few days later Emma traveled to Bangalore where she along with colleagues met with more Portsmouth alums. Deepak Krishna - BEng Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering DL (2011) now travels the world working as an Engineer for Shell; Ashwin Duggi - MA Economics for Business (2012) who had many stories to tell about his part time work as a student; and recent graduate Harsh Malhotra - BArch (2014) who spoke very positively about his course and academics and hopes to return to the UK to continue his training.
